I don't see those two players fitting Pop's system. Only two players I see them moving up for and that's Aynton and Lucka and I doubt they have the pieces to move up in the top 4 to land one of those guys.

I think even that 11-14 range looks pretty good. I think they would be at 13 now.

The top tier is the number 1 pick.

Next tier after that is about 2 through 8 then it drops. After the late first it drops again. You kinda don't want to be in the 20-25 range. Less to choose from unless they LOVE Grayson Allen, and he MIGHT be the best guy for the Spurs.

If the Spurs end up at 12 or 13 then I think they need to try to move up for Trae Young if he falls. He would probably maximize his potential with the Spurs. Known as a long-range bomber/gunner but I see some Tony Parker in his game.

I've been saying for a while that the Spurs need to kinda start over. They're old, they're slow and Gasol/Alrdidge is a terrible combination defensively in the modern game.

Murray is a good step in the right direction, and they have some good bench guys/complimentary pieces. If Leonard is healthy, they're not that far away.

Honestly, while it's interesting to think about what they might do with a pick in the 10-15 range, it wouldn't surprise me if they traded it for an athletic big and/or a young wing. If you added DeAndre Jordan to the mix alongside Leonard, Aldridge and Murray, they are back in the hunt next year.

I don't know their salary cap situation or if they could even pry Jordan away from the Clippers, but if they fall outside of the very top end of the draft, I could see them moving the pick for guys who can make a difference right now.

It is funny how a 61-win (with rest built in) team loses its best player and turns into a 38-30 team that people take issue with how they play rather than marvel at the fact that they are 38-30 and credit that maybe it is because of how they play.

And just like that, after blowing out the Magic, the Spurs are back in 8th. Honestly, with how little difference there is between 3rd and 8th in the West, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Spurs finish the regular season 6th or 7th and end up pushing a first round opponent to 7 games. Never count out Pop.
